e-resources
research done - share and compile what we already know regarding ebooks, subscriptions, and any other paid e-resources we use
ebooks
Mackin - Via. Fiction titles would be 1:1 downloads.
Follett - Similar to Via
Lerner's "Brainhive" - Pay $1 for each checkout.
Overdrive - $12,000 annual subscription. $6000 of this goes toward purchasing their books. We would not own the books
QUESTIONS: Will Via and Follet w/Kindle? What is the price difference between Via/Mackin and the publisher's price? What is "Set to Go?"
What is the timeline?
What is the problem? Easy access to affordable books that is consistent across the district. We need a common method to get ebooks. We need a clear vision of how to accomplish this.
establish plan and timeline for further research, decision-making, and implementation. Committee to come up with a solution to ebooks. Figure out the scope, costs, distribution. Committee consists of Robin HS, Judith MS, Sharon ES, Debbie ES, Jenn - Coordinator. Committee will look at all of the options, organize the options and bring it back to the whole group.
To Do - Come up with the ultimate solution to how to provide the best ebook solution.
